If you get the F version, most people would be hard pressed to tell it apart from its bigger GSXR cousins.

The Suzuki GS 500(F) is the only one that I would actually recommend to a friend or family member. I doubt that the author would buy his 16 year old son an R6 for his first bike.

Unfortunately the nut for that bolt (like many of them on this bike) is just an insert molded in to the plastic.

If you pop the seat off, you should be able to drill a hole in the back side of...

I would say that if your motor is junk and you're going to need to buy another one anyway, it makes sense to get the 1100. But just to do a swap, that may not make financial sense.

The other thing to consider is the clutch.
The 1100S has the dry clutch that the purists like, and the evo has the wet clutch, like the 696, 796. They do feel different, so you might want to see...

There is a company that makes a 'bike sized' tent that acts like a mini garage. If you think it would be a possibility, I'm sure I could find the link to it.

This isn't the one that I saw before,...

There is no doubt that the stock 696 gearing is way too tall. I've had the 14t sprocket since day one, now I'm thinking about going slightly bigger on the rear. I'm going to replace the cheap looking...

I'm a heavier guy and I have never bottomed out the front forks. I suspect that something is wrong.

Put a zip tie on the slider to act as a gauge, and then you can monitor the actual fork travel.

Duplicolor makes a 'black chrome' paint that is specifically made to go over existing chrome finishes. That is probably the cheapest way to do it (that won't chip off). Powder coating is the best...

If the bike feels squirley under normal braking, then I think that you are using too much rear brake. Either that or the front suspension is WAY too soft.

The exact phrase that Ducati used...

I guess what I was saying is that many folks (like me) haven't had nice things to say about the stock BT-023. Those comments really don't apply to the tires that you picked up.

Something to remember is that the aftermarket BT-023 is a dual compound tire, where the BT-023 that Ducati used as 'stock' rubber is only a single compound. Definitely not the same tire.

What I can say, is that I didn't know how unhappy I was with the stock rubber until I got the new rubber on the bike.
I rode for 2 years on the stock tires and was perfectly happy, but once the...

I don't think that you have anything to worry about.

Probably 2 or 3 times a year, I 'nut and bolt' my bike. It's just a habit that I got from the old SCCA days.

Because of the vibration of the L twin, it's a good idea for everyone to do the same...

My carbon tank cover fit perfectly when using the spacers. Mine too, are not DP.

Perhaps the holes just need to be 'sweetened up' with a drill bit.

I admire the leap of faith that it takes to pick up a salt water flooded bike. Glad it worked out.

Do you keep the bike on a tender? The only times that my bike fails to crank right up is when it's been off the tender for a week or two.

So have you run all the numbers yet? Where did you end up financially on the bike?

Those melted fuses are basically what happened to all those Tesla's that burned up after being flooded.
